Hi, as Mountaingoat999 said take a day off.Just popped in to say a quick hello while my clothing is drying. It has been a hard day, as I picked up a very sore throat and a possible cold. Last night in Zubiri, I was trapped in a very humid room with some women who were using salves and lotions and perfumes, oh my.... woke up feeling very ill. I now understand why it is not good to hang clothing in the room while it dries; just too humid.
I arrived at Corazon Puro and met Mary Louise on the 29th Sept, and we had a wonderful time albeit we both were a bit weary from long travels. The next day, she immediately began her walk over the Pyrenees, although I had elected to stay in SJPP to look around and take photos, staying at Beilari where I met some very wonderful people. Some very good times there, for sure, with a lot of laughing and comraderie. The next day found us walking up to beautiful Orisson, where we made a large dent in the beer. Oh, yes, yes, yes indeed. It was a HOT day, and not at all similar to the one following....
The walk over the mountains the next day was definitely a challenge, with lots of heavy, heavy rain and fog rolling in up top. We were glad to reach the hut and enjoy some time to have a bit of lunch and laugh at our sorry and cold and wet situation, ha ha. We were drenched, even with the wonderful rain gear. Seriously, that Pyrenees path is not to be taken lightly. I made good time to Roncesvalles.
I have decided that Roncesvalles is very similar to heaven. Then, after a wonderful time there, on to Zubiri. A good workout with slippery downhills. I was most appreciative to get one of the last beds there, as there seem to be many on the way.
Tonight, here I am at...a place with Podlike beds. I am so ill right now, with a bit of fever and sore throat, that I took the first place after I arrived at the beautiful street right after the Pamplona cathedral. In truth, I kind of fell in. I plan to recuperate and aim to gargle with some salt water and also to add it to tonights beer. Sorry for the lack of proper punctuation. The Spanish keyboard.´
Muchos besos a todo
Maybe you will get lucky & find some Vic's rub. Never fun getting a pesky cold. You can't get much better than having to recover than in Pamplona. The tough part I assume is getting a day behind your walking mates. But hopefully you will wake up & be fine!

Yes I forgot about warm whiskey & honey, drink enough of those & you will sleep like a baby.Hi Debra, I was looking forward to reading about your travels, sorry to hear about the cold, plenty of hot drinks! Hot whiskeys to be precise. Hope your feeling better, and when your up to it drop us a line again to let us know how the travels are going
Rita
I would strongly second Annie's recommendation.So sorry you are sick
I've been sick many times on the Camino.
I go to the Farmacia and get Flumucil.
It saved my life more than once. Not Fluemil, but Flu-mu-cil.
It is a tablet you dissolve in water like Alka Seltzer.
Takes away the pain and clears the sinuses and chest.
Helps make you feel human again.
That said, get a private room and take a few days rest.
I hope you get well soon!
Darn glad we haven't lost you & what you bring to this forum.I would strongly second Annie's recommendation.
I know I said I was going to disconnect from the Forum, but you were very supportive and interested in my Caminos, so I feel you deserve the same from me. It sound like you are suffering from the same thing that afflicts me. When these storms move into Pays Basque across the Atlantic, they bring some strong allergy induced problems. I have become sold on FLUMUCIL, it is like nothing sold in the US and clears up your cold/allergies overnight.
I gave a dose to a woman from Holland 2 years ago who thought she was ready to die from a cold she caught in O'Cebreira; the next morning she said she had never felt better.

She was on yesterday, she shows up late day usually Spain time pm her if she has internet I think she would respondAm concerned about Deb. I've been in the air between Seattle & Madrid, and don't see anything posted from her on this thread since Sunday. Maybe there is another thread? I DO hope she's ok? Am heading to Pamplona tomorrow - anything I can do?
Terry
She is posting briefly but regularly on Facebook and has moved on. During the walk, it can be hard to keep up with several communication streams!Am concerned about Deb. I've been in the air between Seattle & Madrid, and don't see anything posted from her on this thread since Sunday. Maybe there is another thread? I DO hope she's ok.

Adriaan !Buy a small piece of jengibre (ginger) in a fruit and vegetable shop, cut into small slices and keep some on your tongue. Dry the remaining slices and keep them on your journey for future use. It's a cheap and efficient disinfectant.Good luck and ultreya!
